Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

users can add new words to create a piece of poetry by moving/manipulating the
text.” (L:G ; SA:LA )
Spacecraft 3D
– free iPad app; “NASA's Spacecraft 3D is an augmented reality (AR) application
that lets you learn about and interact with a variety of spacecraft that are
used to explore our solar system, study Earth, and observe the universe. Using
a printed AR Target and the camera on your mobile device, you can get up close
with these robotic explorers, see how they move, and learn about the
engineering feats used to expand our knowledge and understanding of space.
Spacecraft 3D will be updated over time to include more of the amazing
spacecraft that act as our robotic eyes on the earth, the solar system and
beyond!”
